Dine out & Visit to Alfra supermarket.

Hubby brought me to eat Egyptian food - Abou Shakra (http://www.aboushakra.com/). We had Shewerma Abou Shakra (chicken). It tasted great, I like it very much. And for main course we had Abou Shakra kebab and Krofta grilled on charcoal with fries and a stuffed pigeon with mixed rice & nuts. For sure there is dessert, yummy!!! Egyptian Omm Ali.


This is the starter, their "bread"with butter. There is 2 types, one is the biscuit type and the other is like soft. We prefer the soft one.


All the dishes have arrived. From the left it is the, soft "bread", the Shewerma Abou Shakra (chicken), Abou Shakra kebab and Krofta grilled on charcoal with fries and a stuffed pigeon with mixed rice & nuts.

This is the a stuffed pigeon with mixed rice & nuts. Well the Rice and nuts is in the pigeon!!
Tada..... the rice is mixed with spices, nuts and raisins. Though the pigeon is a bit skinny, not much meat but it is still ok with me.

Abou Shakra kebab and Krofta grilled on charcoal with fries, the long thing that look like sagauges is the Krofta and the meat is kebab. Till now I'm still thinking if it is lamb or beef... Ok now it is time for dessert!!!

This is the Omm Ali, it is very very sweet. We only have at most 4 bites. It is way too sweet. After the the dinner, Hubby bring to another supermarket, well luckily it is not as packed as Carrefour. I found Ostrich egg, selling at L.E 25, around SIN $5plus. The supermarket is so hot and stuffy. I think I will stick shopping at metro, R&S, Carrefour and Seoudi.

Wow! Great! Exploring local food :)

Evelyn, in order to have a hard boil egg, you need 1 hour. 1 Ostrich egg equivalent to 2 dozen chicken eggs. How much cholesterol will you consume if you eat an Ostrich egg?
